In keeping with the charitable obligations of the City of London’s Livery Companies, the Guild of Entrepreneurs has embarked on an ambitious and substantial programme of charitable works, for which the Guild of Entrepreneurs Trust has been established. Predominantly, the focus is on financing charities and projects that support the development of entrepreneurs and help to bring the opportunities of entrepreneurship to young people. Grants are available for students studying, researching or undertaking vocational training in relation to knowledge and skills required by entrepreneurs and individuals wishing to become entrepreneurs.

The Trust is raising capital, and any donation, great or small, helps to build the fund that is beginning to provide a sustainable income for charitable activities. The first grant was made in 2018 to Ph.D student Carole Jahme.

The growth of the Guild’s Charitable Trust is also an essential component of the progression of the Guild towards Company, and then to Livery Company status within the City of London. The growth of the Trust therefore directly prospers the development of the Guild in addition to its aims for entrepreneurship education and support.

Donating to the Trust is a core commitment of all Freemen Entrepreneurs. Contact the Clerk for a GiftAid form to boost the value of your donation or alternatively download a copy of the form here
